Default DuoDiscus Wing

Enough time has past such that several DuoDiscus wings must have been
inspected. However, there have been no reports as to what was found during
the inspection or what, if anything had to be done. All owner should
communicate with each other so that we all can have a better handle on what
is happening to the fleet. I would like to request that all owners provide
the following information when available. It would be appropriate to obtain
data for all ships; those that passed and those that failed.
1) Serial Number
2) Any problems doing the inspection
3) Results of the inspection
4) What repairs, if any, were required
5) Cost or reimbursement from Schempp-Hirth
6) Any other info that you would care to share.

Some voids were found in the spar of the ship that I am involved with (S/N
217). In one spot a wire could be inserted for what appeared to be the full
width of the spar cap. The ship was transported to M & H for a "second
opinion" and any repairs as required. I will provide additional info when
the ship is returned home.
